Vietnam War Veterans, Marijuana, US Soldiers’ Military Discipline Are These Related?

Question by Mary Magdalene is my mom: Vietnam War Veterans, Marijuana, US soldiers’ military discipline are these related?
I received a mail from a Vietnam War Veteran:

“Two US marines raped a Filipina[sic] in the Philippines. Is that military discipline?”

It looks like I need to explain myself … and you sounded so bright at first.

Statement 1: Two US marines raped a Filipina[sic] in the Philippines.
Statement 2: Is that military discipline?

Please tell me how how these two statements are related.
Please tell me how there is a logical progression from Stmt 1 > Stmt 2.
Please tell me the ‘fact’ you forgot to tell us about that joined the two together; cos I am aware of the story and ‘the fact’.

As for “Is Iraq another Vietnam”?
I fear so.
It was built on lies as was the Vietnam ‘conflict’.
The elites are making Buku dollars.
Soldiers are used as fodder for the machine.

The only difference I can see is that most ‘allied’ soldiers are volunteers this time.

See if you can get hold of a film called Stop-Loss (2008); you might learn something about reality.
If you don’t scream or cry like I did you have no heart and that’s a shame.
Unlike most USian movies it is NOT filled with faux heroism.

Thanks for taking an interest in the subject.

Oh, you accused me of hating ‘god’.
Kid, I don’t believe that any such invisible sky critter exists.
The premise is illogical and total nonsense.

Many thanks Sir. Vietnam Veterans are my heroes. Sad thing too many body bags blinded them on the nature of God. The fact that you are spared Sir Everard G is a miracle enough I love you Sir. Welcome back alive. My dad died there.

Throughout the history of the United States, everywhere U.S. soldiers have waged wars or occupations, or been stationed, local women have been treated as the victims and spoils of war. From the bloody frontier wars that began this country, where U.S. soldiers made trophies and souvenirs from the mutilated body parts of Native American women,2 to the rings of brothels and strip clubs surrounding every U.S. overseas base, to the rapes of women in places like the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan, where U.S. soldiers are often immune from prosecution by those country’s laws. And this ugly legacy of the U.S. military is alive and well today in Iraq.

Rape and sexual assault are not just openly tolerated in the U.S. occupation of Iraq—they are encouraged. Look at what happened in Abu Ghraib. Men being forced to masturbate and pose naked. The rapes and sexual assaults of women, men, and children. All captured on thousands of photos depicting smiling soldiers. Soldiers testified that they were doing these things to “soften up” the prisoners for interrogation.
